Here is the reason why I used to like the 20s bracket so much more than the 30s bracket: there were no mounts in pvp. I have played 20, 30, and 40 with 20 as my favorite not because it was more balanced not because it was I liked the community better but for the reason that you couldn't jump on a horse and interrupt every battle that was going on in midfield within seconds.
I remember back when I played vanilla WoW when everybody was a nub and getting your mount at 40 was a true accomplishment to be had. When mounts came to the 30s I said, "okay, this isn't so bad, it isn't my main bracket anyways I mean blizz would never move mounts all the way down to 20 that would just be crazy." What I thought would never be even considered has happened to a game that has now fallen to the masses. In time this progression will make its way to 19 you only have to wait for it. If this goes through I will no longer have any reason to play WoW as this has proven to me once again blizz does care at all for the minority.

Yeah... I'm not happy about it either. No mounts + a decent amount of skills is what attracted me to the 29s bracket. "Simple pvp that doesn't change often" is what I'm after.

So we finally agree on something eh WTScrits.
Poor poor 29s....I use to like 39s until mounts...and now 29s are going to have them as well.

Wow Vinod, I heard that all the way from another thread and ran over here to see what happened! 
As a bracket with no mounts, 29 battlegrounds allow for more individual skill to shine, and have a lot of stop-and-go to them. Smaller battles break out all over the place, and one or two people can make a difference in any given battle.
Adding mounts effectively reduces the size of the battlefield, so it is easier for players to engage particular battles. Add to this a 50% reduced casting time for mounts, and we get a very Katamari Damacy type feel to battles, where battles just roll up additional players. Group coordination and team support will matter more.
Adding mounts does three things. First, it raises the intensity of the BG (more time fighting, less time travelling). Second, it provides more playtime for ranged dps and casters. Third, it provides a slight advantage to the winners of a major battle, since battles are more likely to involve the majority of both sides, and therefore the people left standing won't have follow-up battles to wage for a short time.
All the other brackets (except 19) have this, so it would have been nice to keep the 29 bracket different. I haven't played in the 39 bracket for awhile, but I imagine these brackets will work pretty much the same when 3.2 lands. I would definitely be okay with this if my shammy could have her cleansing totem return to the 29 bracket. ...But seriously, while I think the 29 bracket will still be fun, 3.2 will mark the end of an era.

well, I intended to make a thread Mount for 20s - good or bad, but I see that you already choosed to be a bad news.
I am glad that there are mounts for 29s. Especially because I was tired running to STV, or DM on Fuckin FOOT!
Of course, I am a little scared about pvp... things will change!
No more - get the flag and start running!
But it has some good things - you can now get to the enemy base in AB quiker and mb beat them 2000-0!
Many 29 twinks became 39 twinks because of the mount... so i don t think that mount is so bad for twinks.
And how many 29 noobs will have mount? I mean it costs 4 G and you probably have to go somewhere where the earth ends to get it... and stuff, so I don t think there will be full of mounts in BG.
Hm... I always wanted a wolf mount... can I get that? Don t think so...just skinny undead mount!

Owh, my poor flag running shaman will have a hard time now.
Though I might feel justified in using FAPs and SwiftPots now ^_^

well, it's certainly alive in reckoning. i will say that before Wtscritpst (Fundingtwinks) brought everyone over it was relatively dead.
